A good day to everybody! :wavey:

How well do you know CFS2? Could you fly it even if the simulator interface spoke another language?

I just uploaded the necessary files, for a total of 11, which will allow you the possibility of flying CFS2 in a different language, just for the fun of it.
All system messages, Flight Window (Alt + Enter) drop down menus, Mission builder interface and various selection screens with related buttons are translated in Italian language.

I also enclosed, stock aircraft original dp files in Italian, so that when your aircraft is hit, the related damage message will show up in Italian. If you're curious to see stock aircraft damage messages in Italian as well, drop each stock dp file in your stock aircraft folders. Remember these files are the originals, so you'll be back to strictly stock (and related defects) damage effects and payload arrays.

Don't forget to back up your original first. In any case, they can easily be extracted with Winzip, or another packed-file managing utility, from your original CFS2 CDs.

Fire CFS2 and be prepared to see CFS2 talking to you in Italian!!!

Do not worry about the simulator behaviour or pilot's chatter files: nothing will change other than the text strings displayed by CFS2.


*** DISCLAIMER:

No file protected by International Copyright laws is included in this upload.
These files ARE NOT executables necessary to make CFS2 work.
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES any unauthorised copy of Combat Flight Simulator 2 will work just by installing these files, as the necessary original CD will still be needed to activate the simulator.

IF ANY NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING MEMBER LIKED THIS SMALL PROJECT, IS WELCOME TO COMPLETE IT BY UPLOADING, IN TURN, HIS/HER TRANSLATED FILES. CHECK MY UPLOAD FOR THE FILE LIST.

Since I had the original English file sent to me to test the conversion back to its original looks, I will upload them soon for anybody wishing to see the original CFS2 interface. From now on I'll keep my CFS2 in English, it looks so cool! ;)

Enjoy!

When Kelti gave me these files to test, he made sure to emphasize that this is not Jersey Italian.

If you get hit, you don't see a message saying "Hey...whazza madda wit youz?"

I still get a laugh out of that. :d
 
Great project KH!

Love the new splash screens.

Thanks Jagd!

One piece at the time, since we are talking of big files here, I can extract all of the Italian \UIRES and upload them.
I'll also include country.cfg with all the outcome messages in Italian as well.

Microsoft translaters did a thorough job, in my stock package there isn't a single word in English. What amazes me is that it took them less than a month to do it, if you look at the file dates the originals were done on September 18th, 2000 while the translated counterpart is dated October 6th.

I only hope someone else will do the same, we do have members from all over the world. Wouldn't it be fun having a library with CFS2 in French, German, Spanish, etc.?

RAMI:

Jersey Italian? I thought it was Nu Yowk Brooklinese! :d

Cheers!
